  WCLM Time Trials
Thursday, Oct 2nd

This was a WCLM first! The WCLMers gathered at the Jackson County Sport Park in White City, Oregon. The Jackson County Sports Park is an amazing collection of a quarter mile drag strip, dirt oval, motocross track and karting track.

We hit the karting track that is combination of twisty turns and long straight. Each driver left the start box and veered to the left down a longish straight and into a sweeping backed righthander. That was followed by a very slow and tight left. A short squirt into a tight right, a quick blast and around a sweeping left. A reducing radius right onto the second longest straight.

Coming off this straight the drivers dove into a tight left and then into a right-left-right complex. A good launch off the last right was needed as you could accelerate onto the long straight.

Crossing the start/finish the drivers did two more laps to finish a mini-enduro. The day started dry, but by mid-day it was raining and the slippery conditions made for some "interesting" slip angles and entertaining "tank-slappers". In the end Randy C. in his Noble captured TTOD.
